There is an oblique fascia from the costa at two-thirds reaching two-thirds across the wing, the upper part dark fuscous, the lower ochreous-brown. There is also an inwardly oblique dark fuscous spot on the costa before the apex, edged whitish anteriorly, more or less connected beneath by a dark fuscous dash in the disc with the preceding. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
